Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

  • When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
  • It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
  • Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
  • This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
  • Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.

Which of the following periodic properties increases as you move from left to right across the periodic table?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

the answer choice is B

Explanation:

as we move from left to right , the atomic size decreases due to higher number of protons in the nucleus, which are able to attract the electrons more strongly. and so the electronegativity and  electron affinity increases for the same reason. the nuclear charge increase due to more protons , and without an increase in inner electrons , there is less shielding effect. so effective nuclear charge increases.

Describe how the boiling point of water on top of a mountain would be different from its boiling point at sea level.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

At elevated altitudes, any cooking that involves boiling or steaming generally requires compensation for lower temperatures because the boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes due to the decreased atmospheric pressure.
